Hi All,

I am looking to relocate to Santiago, Chile in around ~March 2017.
I would like to apply for the 1 year temporary residence Visa from within Chile in the Santiago Area.

A few facts about my self:
Citizen: India
Residency: USA (Greencard)
Background: STEM (Software Engineer)
A 30 day multiple entry* tourist Visa to Chile expiring in 90 days from issue date of Dec 20. 2016. (*I just visited Santiago and Patagonia area and loved it)

Once I relocate, I will no longer be employed but I do haveĀ“ savings that can show financial self sustenance.

1. What is the best category for me to apply for the 1 year temporary residency Visa ? (Age: Early 30's)
http://www.extranjeria.gob.cl/ingles/clasif_visa_temp.html

2. Once I arrive, I will have a 30 day Tourist card, should I first extend my tourist card AND/OR also apply for the Temporary 1 year Visa.

3. What documents should I bring with me for the Temporary 1 year Visa.
?

4. While my application for temporary residency Visa is in progress can I leave and enter the country even if my tourist Visa is expired ?

Thanks

Assuming that you are still in Santiago, Chile, you can always go to your country's Chilean Embassy and get your advice from the actual source that would be the absolute best information that can be trusted. If you are outside of Chile and need this information, go to the nearest Chilean Consulate office in the country you are in currently. Good luck in your pursuits. https://www.passportsandvisas.com/embassy-consulate/chile If in U.S.A. call 1-855-415-7369
